This is beautiful!

I wish there were more people who pay attention to history and understand how much there is to learn from our previous mistakes.

Or maybe I wish I wasn't so keen on learning from mistakes so I'd be less weighed down with this dread.

This is Paul of Thebes. He was a eremite and lived alone in the desert from the age of 16. He was 113 when he died. He never got infected.

You know all those stories of people that went off to live in the mountains and died very old?

You know what their secret to a long life was?

They didn't get infected.
Infections age you.

JCVI are corrupt as hell.

It really feels like Twiiter is collapsing. So much 'bad' anger there.

Hello! 👋

Haha!

I've just had a phone call from a colleague who has supported three families this year where the spread of secondary cancers has been described by doctors as 'surprisingly quick'. I know of two this year myself. Is this a thing?

An update to a previous artwork. This time more tailored to a profile photo dimension.

I'd really love a more unified society when it comes to preventing long term harm to our collective health.

It's going a bit bleak everywhere while we maintain a modicum of optimism as a survival mechanism.

Nobody said it was easy. Nobody also said that this is the price to have some level of critical thinking.

2 ans après, les risques et le fardeau sur la santé et l'espérance de vie demeurent 😰

Petition: Create a new regulatory body to hold NHS managers accountable We would like NHS managers to be required to be registered and held to a set of professional of standards, which are regulated by a governing body, similar to doctors and nurses.

@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social and everyone else would be great if you can share this and encourage people in the U.K. to sign this.🙏
This is in response to the Lucy Letby case

Beautiful!

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:

Rational Fear or Irrational Fear.

Be wise or be a cowardly bully.

Hint: Choose wisely. The answer is in the often used phrase. It's staring at you, in your damn face.

All of us who are wearing a respirator, thank you. Don't bow down to cowards, continue to be courageous.

/End

Even IF we are overly cautious, even IF we are 'anxious', so what? If you are truly human or humane or a friend or family, shouldn't you support us?

Do you care?

Ask yourself the question, do you care about others, at all?

13/14

Those of us wearing respirators, using HEPA/MERV filtration units, barrier nasal sprays, CPC mouthwashes and avoiding public indoor settings... we are exercising the precautionary principle.

You think this is for shits and giggles?

This isn't fun. This is life and death.

12/14

Road accidents and deaths gave us seatbelts, airbags, traffic lights and all the rules to AVOID further deaths.

HIV gave us better sex education and better protection tools.

You see a lion charging at you, you fucking run, right?

Rational Fear is a GOOD THING.

11/14

The phrase is NOT 'Err on the side of ignorance'!

Don't be ignorant.

We literally have history to teach us about past, often painful mistakes.

Cholera gave us clean water.
Countless disease outbreaks gave us vaccine research and vaccines.

Rational Fear is a GOOD THING.

10/14

It is obvious that we should have Rational Fear! Rational Fear equals caution. Caution is wise. There's a reason why the phrase is 'Err on the side of caution'.

Caution saves lives.

Caution gives us safety guidelines, protocols and rules.

9/14

Many people have died.
Many children are orphaned.
Millions have Long SARS or Post SARS Syndrome.

Yet the governments have dropped mandates and basic mitigations, even in healthcare settings.

HEALTHCARE!

Public health messaging is a complete shitshow and clusterf**k.

While we currently have a lot of evidence on the long term effects of the SARS-CoV2 virus, a Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) pathogen, through analysis and painstaking studies... we are still finding out more and more about how deadly this pandemic and this virus is.
